Quick answer: The Cherry Grove is a pink-blossom biome added in Minecraft 1.20 (Trails & Tales). It generates high up on mountain slopes and plateaus, usually bordering Meadow, Forest, or snowy mountain biomes. To find one, head into mountainous terrain and look for the unmistakable pink cherry trees, or use /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove.
The Cherry Grove is the most beautiful biome in Minecraft — pink cherry blossom trees, petals drifting in the air, and bees buzzing between the flowers. It’s a favourite for aesthetic bases. Here’s how to find one.
What’s in a Cherry Grove?
- Cherry trees — a full new wood set (cherry logs, planks, doors, signs) with soft pink leaves.
- Pink Petals — a ground block you can harvest for pink dye and decoration.
- Bees and bee nests — the blossoms attract bees, so it’s a great spot for honey and a bee farm.
- Emerald ore nearby — because it’s a mountain biome, emerald ore generates in the surrounding stone. See ore distribution.
How to Find a Cherry Grove
- Head for mountains. Cherry Groves generate on mountainous terrain — hilly slopes and plateaus, often next to Meadows and Forests. Follow rising terrain.
- Look for pink. The pink canopy is visible from a long distance and stands out against green and snowy biomes — you’ll spot it before you reach it.
- Use the locate command. With cheats on, run
/locate biome minecraft:cherry_groveto get the coordinates of the nearest one. See our commands list. - Try a seed. If you want to start right next to one, use a cherry grove seed instead of searching.
You need Minecraft 1.20 or later for the Cherry Grove to exist — it was one of the headline additions of the Trails & Tales update.
Why Build Here?
Beyond the looks, the Cherry Grove is genuinely useful: cherry wood is a beautiful build material, pink petals give easy dye, the bees provide honey, and the mountains around it mean iron and emerald are close. It’s one of the best all-round base locations in the game — see how it stacks up in the best Minecraft biomes.
